Lyrics

The Sav­ior called so lov­ing­ly,
I am saved by His blood;
I heard His voice from Cal­va­ry,
I am saved by His blood.
I won­dered if it was for me,
A wretch so full of mi­se­ry,
To be from sin and sor­row free,
I am saved by His blood.

Refrain

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
I am saved by His blood;
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
I am saved by His blood.

His lov­ing words came to my ear,
I am saved by His blood;
Come un­to Me, and do not fear,
I am saved by His blood.
And I had naught to bring to Him,
Only my vile­ness, guilt, and sin,
But as I came He let me in,
I am saved by His blood.

Refrain

He that be­liev­eth, hear the word,
I am saved by His blood;
Hath life in Je­sus Christ our Lord,
I am saved by His blood.
The sto­ry ne­ver can be told;
Oh, cast on Him thy sin sick soul,
And He will quick­ly make thee whole,
And saved by His blood.

Refrain
